North Park’s original craft beer bar and restaurant, The Linkery, is hosting eighth anniversary celebrations this weekend, starting Thursday night with an Avery Brewing beer dinner kickoff at 6:45 p.m.
Founder Adam Avery has shipped out some rarities from his personal cellar to match up with cuisine from Chef Keith. Admission is $88.50 including food, beer and gratuity; view the entire pairing menu here.
Starting on Friday lots of great IPAs, or variations on the style, will go on tap. Depending on when you come in over the weekend, the list will include eight of the following: AleSmith X, Avery IPA, Avery The Maharaja IIPA, Ballast Point Dorado IIPA, Coronado Idiot IIPA, Green Flash Black IPA (cask), Green Flash Green Bullet IIIPA, Green Flash Hop Head Red, Green Flash LeFreak, Port Brewing Mongo IIPA, Societe The Pupil, and Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale (cask).
Special menu items from the past, such as Baja octopus wrapped in house-cured bacon, glazed, braised and grilled Santa Margarita pork belly, and Catalina Offshore-sourced parchment-steamed best catch will also be available.
